When Frank G. Cannata launched that first Survey 37 years ago, his objective was to provide independent dealers with a venue to share views about their suppliers and competitors, and acknowledge the manufacturers that excel in supporting their channel partners. True to The Cannata Report’s original intent, these objectives are just as important today.

This year’s Survey had the second greatest number of responses in the history of the Survey—380, with 366 of those representing the Big Six manufacturers—Canon, Konica Minolta, Kyocera, Ricoh, Sharp, and Toshiba. The largest number of dealers were aligned with Sharp (91), Ricoh (80), and Toshiba (70). The Big Six OEM with the fewest dealers participating was Canon with 32.
